Coach of Tech Team.
A THENS, GA., May 10.—Before
3,000 howling fans the Tech
team repeated yesterday’s
atunt and again triumphed over Geor
gia. This time the score was 6 to 4.
The Red and Black team had settled
down and played a much steadier
game in the field. Tech’s errors
proved more costly than Georgia’s.
The Yellow Jackets had a shade the
batter of It at bat, and they also had
more stolen bases.
There were few specially brilliant
plays on either side. It was plain,
straight, fighting-hard baseball from
start to finish. As in yesterday’s
game, Tech took the lead in the sec
ond inning. With one down, Pound
singled over third. Amason ground
ed out, advancing Pound to second.
Pitts singled, but Pound was held on
third. On Hutchens’ attempt to nail
Pitta stealing second, Pound started
home and on Harrison’s wild return
he scored. Donaldson then singled
tp center and Pitts scored. After this
Georgia scored one each In the sec
ond, fourth, fifth and sixth. Thus the
score stood 4 to 2 in Georgia's favor
at the beginning of the eighth.
Wooten started the lucky Inning
with a single. Moore walked. Malone
was hit by a pitched ball. Montague
dew out to left and Wooten scored.
On a perfectly executed
with Pound at the
the tying run. Malone
on a pasped ball, putting
lead again. I
Tech Fans Go Wild.
The scene at this stage of the game j
in the Tech stands was never equaled
before. Never anywhere have I se m j
such excitement, heard such yelling,
seen such extravagant displays of in
sane Joy. Georgia Carrie back with a I
, \\] anti tried with all her might, but
ihe Yellow Jackets had a strangle
hold on the game and just would nut
b t loose.
Finally the last Georgian was
thrown out at first by Donaldson on
• ne of the few brilliant stops and
ih:ows of the game. Then bedlam
broke loose and the Tech rooters
went mad. Down onto the field they
romped and. elevating the Tech play-
i r«j upon their shoulders, they carried
them off the field.
Great Pitchers’ Battle.
Again it was a pitchers’ battle.
Morris performed splendidlj' until he
was knocked out in the eighth. Pitts
twirled the very best game of his ca
reer. Hutchen- for Georgia, playel
gTand ball. Neither Montague nor
McWhorter, the greaest hitters of
their respective teams, could secure
a single hit in either game, and the
lighter hitters did the work. The two
teams seem to be • - ---- matched.
This means that the two games In
Atlanta wiH furnish the rarest f
sport. The box score:

By Percy H. Whiting.
L AST summer, late, when the At
lanta team was Joy riding—and
by so doing bringing not Joy,
but black sorrow to the hearts of
Atlanta fans, the baseball association
announced that they had bought a
player—a Nebraska Indian—named
Schegg.
They knew he was a left hander
and that Washington had picked him
up from a team of roving Indians.
And that was all they knew.
Iti due time the player came
His first task was to announce that
the “Schegg” stuff was all bunk, that
he wasn’t an Indian, that he was
merely a good Ohio southpaw.
Immediately he went in and dem
onstrated.
But because he had previously
been unheard of and because he came
as an Indian and then turned out to
be a Caucasian and especially be
cause the w hole Cracker team of 1912
was so awful nobody took him seri
ously—even though he had won three
games out of four starts with the
wretched, crumbling Crackers of 1912.
Now Price has outlasted the other
left-handers of the Cracker staff, still
holds hi? Job and threatens to b*
the bright southpawlng star of 1913.
• * *
IT is wonderful how many of the
1 Crackers of 1913 came from
Ohio and Pennsylvania. l ook them
over. Pennsylvania furnished Al-
perman, Musser, Wally Smith and
Welchonce. Prom Ohio came Bill
Smith, Agler, Bailey and Price.
And likre most of the 1D13 Crack
ers, Price was born in a tiny town—
Lee* v Hie.
Now’ Leesville, despite a good name
and the prestige that naturally at
taches to any town that gave Gil
Price birth, has only 600 population.
According to Price it Just happens
to be there, it isn’t near ahy city,
hasn’t any industries to speak of—
in fact, it hadn’t any claim to dis
tinction until Gilbert Price did the
burg the honor of being born there.
• • *
P RICE got the usual school educa
tion and then started playing ball.
He doesn't recall his first game or
much about his career imtil he
caught on with the Ashland, Ohio
Club, back in 1907.
So good was Price’s shoeing with
Ashland that Walter East, the old
Southern League infielder, then man
ager of the Akron (Ohio) club, went
after him and landed him.
For three years Price did great
work with Akron The next season
he put in part of his time with Ak
ron and part with the Flint team, of
the Southern Michigan League. In
1911. Price was with Danville, Ill.,
and LaCrosse, Wls. Lait year he
started the season a hold-out and be
cause he could not come to term* he
passed up organized baseball and
started with the Nebraska Indians
Price's great work with the In
dians brought him to the attention
of Clark Griffith, who grabbed him
for the Senators and late£ shipped
him to Atlanta.
* * •
IL Price has pitched some amax-
^ ing bull In his day, but the beet
game of ail in his career was hurled
before he went into professional
baseball. He was playing with a
picked team at Dennison, Ohio, and
he took part in a 16-inning 0-to-0
tie game. In the sixteen innings he
allowed only four hits.
Price’s best game since he has been
playing professional ball was with
Mansfield against Lima. fn this
contest he allowed only a single swat
—a home run. Usually when a man
pitches one-hit ball he is beaten cn
that one hit. But Price didn’t have
that sort of luck. His club won
that game, 8 to 1.
• * *
T HE future of Price is a matter of
interest to Atlanta fans. Gil ad
mits to being 24 years old—which
puts him in the no-chicken class
among baseball players; and he has
started his seventh year in baseball.
However, his Improvement has been
steady and seems to be continuing.
If he keeps going at the rate he is
now, he can hardly escape a big
league try-out next spring.
Price Is a glutton for work. He
f ets sore—mentally and physically—
f a manager does not work him a
couple of times a week.
Price fields his position handily,
has been known to hit in the pinches
and can lay down a bunt and beat it
over to first Just a shade better than
any other man on the Cracker club.
When they call on Gilbert for a bunt
you can bet your money he will not
pop one into the air and that after
he lays It down he will waste no
time in getting over to first.
* • •
ALL in all, Price Is considerable of
a pitcher. No hurler ever came
to Atlanta with laps blowing of
trumpets and not one ever proved a
more pleagant surprise.

JENNINGS HOPES O’LEARY
BATS .400 WITH CARDS
ST. LOUIS, MO., May ’
Hughie Jennings is hoping mat
Charlie O’Leary will bat .400 with the
Cardinals this year.
“O’Leary is one ot the finest fel
lows I ever met and was one of th*
finest players to get along with I ever
heard of. He could not succeed very
well any more in the American
League, but he has every chance in
the National, and I do not see any
reason why he should not be a suc
cess.”
It is a matter of record that play
ers, after leaving the American
League, break into the National and
hang up good batting average*. Bat
ting was always O’Leary’s weatc
point, but a change of scenery may
help him. Likewise have players from
the National appeared in the Ameri
can League and surpassed all previ
ous batting performances.
